Potsy just given me a nudge on this one,might be up for this so i can put faces to names and have a nice new ride out free of nappies ! Is it MTB or hybrid type riding ????

It's 4 fast lads on racers with me doing my best to keep up

I do hope you're not throwing that fast blanket over me either- plenty of ballast to aid on the downhill but otherwise.........

I had a little wander out this afternoon, and decided to check out Gorsey Bank on the way home. Starts steep, then eases a little, then the steep bit is at the top ! It's about 1 in 5 at the top, proper lung buster.

It's about 400 feet in half a mile.....

Me too! Fun aint it! I also did werneth low rd, monks rd and apple st. No way i'd try apple st in the wet, what kind of road surface is that!!
Amazing how much climbing you can squeeze into such a short distance round there.

MTB on trail tyres pumped up hard should do he trick then ?

Naaahh should be a laugh !

The route we are doing doesn't actually go up Gorsey, you'd have to double back to do it.

To Ant - nearly went up Apple Street, but last time I remember it's got ridges/steps on the road - didn't fancy taking the best bike over it. 19 miles and 1900 ft of climbing !

I doubt I'll be laughing Skud,crying maybe but not laughing
